I don't see why you can't use /dev/input/mice - I have the same mouse
setup as you and it works for me. Unless you have problematic hardware
that is

Well, fwiw, I'll give you the config I have and that works for me (with
irrelevant bits snipped out). Maybe it'll work for you too...
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "FGLRX"
Screen 0 "aticonfig-Screen[0]" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Mouse1" "AlwaysCore"

Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"

EndSection
